About meYour average 30-something eccentric, currently squeezing in reads at night after I finish studying for the day (vet school - love it!). I'm a Californian living in New Zealand for the time being.

The chocolate dog is Silas, a 13-year-old red/white Australian Shepherd who is obsessed with hedgehogs and other things that go bump in the night.

About my libraryPrimarily a lifetime reading list. I have included a few owned-but-unread books and some wish list books, appropriately tagged.

Noticed you liked Vernon God Little, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my novel since it's also southern (and a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm currently out of physical copies). If you're interested, send me your e-mail address (mine is mail@christophertusa.com), and I'll send you the e-book. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Thanks,
